Activate Learning produces K-8 science that adheres to research on the way students learn; by integrating reading, writing, talking, and "doing" science in every lesson. In our curricula, ideas connect from lesson-to-lesson, and unit-to-unit across science strands and grade levels. Students connect what they learn in class with their out-of-class experiences - investigating chemical reactions first hand, then explaining how fireworks work or explaining what happens inside their bodies as they drink a soda. Instead of amassing science information, students apply their understanding to new situations that require them to think critically, reason intelligently, and make sense of science. They engage in practices such as: developing models, explaining phenomena, and using evidence to argue in support of their claims.
